Witness appeal after
fight at Birkdale Railway Station
THE British Transport Police (BTP)
is appealing for witnesses to a large fight that occurred, at Birkdale
Station, at around 9pm, on Sunday, 4 October 2015. Investigating Officer, PC
Paul Hevey, said that:- "A man who had been waiting on the platform
alone became engaged in conversation with two other men before this turned
into an altercation. The fight escalated and spread onto the railway tracks
with the 2 men narrowly avoiding contact with the electrical rail. A large
group then emerged from a nearby pub and became involved in the fracas,
during which the fight spilled out onto the Station Car Park. BTP Officers
then arrived on the scene and an allegation of assault was made by 2 men. We
are now very keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this large
scale disorder and violence, which must have been frightening to watch."
Anyone who thinks they might have information about the incident
should contact Officers to assist with their enquiries, via texting:-
'61016', quoting reference:- 'PSUB/B5 of 16/10/2015'
or you can also pass information on anonymously, to the independent charity,
Crimestoppers, on:- 0800 555 111.
